Mounts

[BeefStrokinoff]

When are we going to be able to have mounts in the game? really would like to have some horses or something to ride around so im not having to walk. also would be cool to have the ability to maybe have a small cavalry for battles mid-late game.

I think Mounts would be cool. I'd like to have a baggage train following behind my army carrying the food, arrows and shields.

(My fantasy scenario)
Would be when they release t4 it comes with a much larger map, where traveling on foot is unfeasible. Making a horse a necessity. This would also make moving an army a far greater logistical challenge. For example requiring more supplies for the longer marches. Simplified by adding a baggage train (horse and carriage) that carries the armies necessities or pillage. Your soldiers would automatically react with with the carrage and pull out food or whatever supplies they need. If it's a really long march (more than a day) the baggage train can pack tents for the soldiers to sleep in and maintain their moral. A long military march would also require military training. So we'd need a new building to train groups of villagers how to March together as a unit instead of devolving into long skirmish lines.

And of course we need at least one coach for the player to port back and forth to. A carriage that attracts lots of attention so sending it out alone may end badly. Why have a port carrage, because marching all day with the army is boring and as a Lord we have much better things to do.

What did I miss?

You missed the fact that this isnt an Army Marching simulator.
